This is the ultimate “Instagram” smoothie if you are into that. The “blue” color comes from the algae component. I know it sounds gross but it basically does not have a taste which is why it is great to mix with just about anything. To make the “blue” even bluer, I primarily use blueberries and chia seeds.

I definitely eat this one with a spoon – it is almost ice cream like with enough ice and optionally some Greek Yogurt.
